Helping to Heal the Wounds

America’s warriors need mental health resources now more than ever. Veterans and active-duty soldiers are far more likely than the general population to suffer from anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and addiction. Whether these heroes have returned home or are still in active duty, they deserve our help overcoming their psychological wounds. That’s why New Harbinger remains dedicated to providing powerful, evidence-based self-help books for soldiers and professional resources for the mental health clinicians who treat them.

Professional and Self-help books for Veterans, Soldiers and their Families

Our self-help workbooks are the gold standard in the industry due to their clarity, accessibility, and efficacy, and may be used in conjunction with therapy or as powerful, standalone treatments. Recommended by therapists nationwide, our books aim to help veterans get their most troublesome symptoms under control right away as they work toward addressing the underlying causes of their conditions. Our books are grounded in proven-effective therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and Mind-Body Bridging.

Mind-body bridging, a treatment protocol developed by Dr. Stanley H. Block, author of New Harbinger’s Mind-Body Workbook for PTSD has shown promising results in helping alleviate both the stress-related and physical symptoms that typically present in combat veterans. In a recent study by the VA, it was found that just two sessions of sleep-focused mind-body bridging significantly improved symptoms of sleep disturbances and PTSD in veterans. In addition, the Department of Defense recently offered a grant to the University of Utah Medical School to investigate the clinical benefits of mind-body bridging in treating veterans.

“While on active duty at the Bamberg US Army Base in Germany, I saw hundreds of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with combat and operational stress reaction (COSR). In my professional opinion, the mind-body bridging technique featured in Mind-Body Workbook for PTSD is the single most effective method for the treatment PTSD and COSR.”

“[The Anger Control Workbook] carefully and clearly shows how feelings of anger rip up people’s guts, destroy their relationships, and have many other disadvantages… [This book] indicates how readers can constructively work—and keep working—to minimize anger and rage… [It] includes many exceptionally useful and practical self-help techniques and exercises.
